The invention is a head and neck support apparatus comprised of a central portion with three primary sections 1) a shoulder ramp, 2) an inclined Atlanto-Axial support (AXS) section, and 3) a substantially level head support section. The apparatus also has side support portions, in several embodiments, so a user may lay in a lateral position. The AXS section is designed to support the soft tissue between the user's atlanto and axis at 0 to 20 degrees.
